The star has taken the brave step to seek professional help following her split from Ashton Kutcher

Demi Moore has been rushed to hospital to seek treatment for exhaustion and 'overall health' problems, her spokesperson has confirmed.

The actress, who recently split with husband of six years Ashton Kutcher, was taken to hospital by ambulance following a 911 call.

Her representative said: 'Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health.

'She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.'

The celebrity gossip website TMZ.com has reported that the actress is being treated for substance abuse but her representatives have refused to comment on those allegations.

The 49-year-old filed for divorce in November 2011 after a 22-year-old woman called Sara Leal claimed she'd had a fling with Kutcher.

In a statement at the time, she said: 'It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton.

'As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.'DEMI MOORE AND ASHTON KUTCHER SPLIT

While the Ghost actress is seeking treatment in hospital, Kutcher is in Sao Paulo, where he has been attending Fashion Week.

Just yesterday he posted a photo of himself on Twitter larking around in a heavy rain storm.

Get better soon, Demi.
